Default NEW custom valve covers...

Well after this topic gathered so much interest <FONT COLOR="blue">Custom Valve Covers</FONT> I decided to make a new thread for this year.

The new price starts at $40

Here is a list of things that I can do
Valve covers
Turbo piping
Cold air intake tubes
Alternators
Engine mounts
Fuel rails
Fuel filters
Intake manifolds
Oil pans

If I did not mention something that you would like to have done, IM me and we will talk. I do each valve cover myself and I will never let one leave my garage that has an imperfection in it. If there are any more questions, feel free to IM me. You can find all the pics here

Here are a few shots

I'm assuming the $40 is for the cost of the work and doesn't include the actual valve cover right?

New pics will be up tonight, I have just finished painting a gsr cover and this one also came out like the sr20 cover, with a wrinkle finish. So this is 2 in all that have come out like this, I don't know why either. I have been using the same paint and I have been painting them in the same condition. I think the mixer put different chemicals in the paint and that's why there turning out like this. I could tell you this though, they look really nice and there actually more durable then the old ones because the finish is rougher.

Glad you like it Danny, customer satisfaction is always number 1 on the list. The blue cover pictured above is getting redone just because there is one little mark on it I did not like and neither did the customer, so I am redoing it all. Just shows how much customer satisfaction is really the number one concern.

I am getting a lot of people asking me if I make turbo piping, the answer is no, I only paint them. Here is the blue cover posted above.
